PREFACE. 


The  origin  of  the  Chinook  language  perhaps 
never  can  be  accurately  ascertained.  Probably  no 
one  man  could  claim  the  honor.  It  simply  grew. 
Spanish  and  English  navigators  tiaded  about 
Nootka  Sound  between  1785  and  1800;  then  and 
there  first  formulated  and  began  mainly  with  a  few 
Nootka,  English  and  vSpanish  words.  The  head- 
quarters of  the  traders  were  soon  after  transferred 
to  the  Columbia  River,  near  the  mouth.  The  lan_ 
guage  thus  begun  was  readily  used;  so  that  lyewis 
and  Clark's  expedition,  in  1805,  found  a  little  of  it 
in  use  there.  With  the  coming  of  Astor's  party  in 
181 1  ,  and  subsequently,  the  language  topk  definite 
form,  and  received  many  additions  from  the  Chin- 
ook, Chehalis  and  other  tribes  in  that  region.  The 
principal  and  largest  tribe  being  the  Chinook,  and 
their  home  or  nation  was  in  a  southwesterly  direc- 
tion from  the  trading  post  and  the  white  settlers' 
headquarters,  consequently  the  name  "Chinook;" 
also  Chinook  Winds— as  southwesterly  from  the 
direction  of  the  Chinook  nation  or  home.  The  words 
are  used  quite  frequently  by  the  people  of  this 
Northwest — "The  Chinook  Winds"  warm  and 
coming  from  the  southwest.  While  more  English 
and  French  words  were  added,  it  is,  however, 
still  changing — has  done  so  in  the  last  thirty  years 


194683 


on  the  Sound.  The  Spanish  words,  or  a  larger 
portion,  have  been  supplanted  by  English  and 
French  ones.  The  necessity  of  a  jargon  or  lan- 
guage for  the  early  trader  with  the  numerous 
tribes  from  Vancouver  Island,  north  up  the  coast, 
and  in  transfering  and  spreading  their  business 
through  what  is  now  Oregon  and  Washington,  be- 
came manifest  to  successfully  barter  with  them. 
The  tribes  were  more  numerous  and  each  having  a 
dialect  of  their  own,  caused  the  formulation  of  the 
Chinook  language  and  the  improvement  upon  the 
same  as  before  stated.  There  were  over  one  hun- 
dred tribes  in  Washington  alone,  and  no  doubt 
Oregon  had  as  many;  also  British  Columbia  and 
Alaska  each  as  many.  The  last  census,  however, 
shows  but  about  fifty  tribes  in  the  State  of  Wash- 
ington and  many  ot  them  but  a  few  representa- 
tives— over  one-half  have  become  extinct.

SUGGESTIONS. 

The  Chinook  jargon  can  be  more  readily  learned 
l)y  first  briefly  studying  the  Dictionary  and  then 
converse  with  Indians.  Their  peculiar  guteral 
articulations  is  beyond  the  power  of  our  alphabet 
to  apply  any  given  rules,  and  scarcely  any  gram- 
matical rules  can  be  applied.
